00:00BUS INVADERS!

00:01No, no, no, no.

00:02You gotta go.

00:03It's Girlfriends.

00:04Just this once, we'll let you on the bus.

00:05Come on.

00:06So, we are on the Greatest Hits Tour with Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan, and Girlfriends.

00:07It's been a tour of the summer.

00:08Uh, yeah, I would say so.

00:09Yeah.

00:10This is the driver's area.

00:11Um.

00:12This is the bus stop.

00:13Um.

00:14This is the bus stop.

00:15Um.

00:16This is the bus stop.

00:17Um.

00:18This is the bus stop.

00:19Um.

00:20This is the bus stop.

00:21Um.

00:22This is the bus stop.

00:23Um.

00:24This is the bus stop.

00:25Um.

00:26This is the bus stop.

00:27Um.

00:28This is the bus stop.

00:29Umm.

00:30He has an assortment of fruit and donuts because everyone needs a balanced diet, but to be

00:35honest, you don't want us anywhere near here, so we tend to stay this way, onward.

00:41Otherwise, I don't know how we would do.

00:44But.

00:45Welcome to our home!

00:46Who would be the best bus driver?

00:49If you had to choose one from the group, who would be, who would be it?

00:52I'm gonna say Ellio, our videographer, who is completely Italian, lives in Italy, doesn't

00:55completely Italian, lives in Italy,

00:57doesn't know how to drive in America,

00:59but I feel like he would figure it out for us.

01:01He would figure it out first.

01:02Yeah.

01:03Okay, I'm into that.

01:03He's the most likable human on our bus.

01:06The sweetest boy.

01:07But first and foremost, I need you to take your shoes off

01:11and you can throw them in the shoe bin.

01:14The shoe bin, please, yes.

01:16So we're a little OCD on the bus.

01:18We probably clean it about three to four times a day.

01:22I clean it, I clean it.

01:23Nick cleans it.

01:25But you like sweeping and you like mopping.

01:27It's therapeutic for you.

01:28Yeah, very therapeutic, very meditative.

01:31I just get in my zone, I sweep, I swiffer.

01:34I'm a good swiffer, you know.

01:37But you gotta keep it clean.

01:39Have to.

01:40So this is a brand new bus.

01:41We are the second tour to ever be on it.

01:43When we picked it up, it had 10,000 miles.

01:46So this thing is brand new.

01:48You can tell because it's all hardwood floors.

01:51We got like tile on all of the finishes.

01:54This is marble, actually.

01:56This is marble.

01:57This is marble.

01:58Actually, is this drywall?

02:01We test it?

02:02We have some marble, we have some brick here,

02:05but really nice supple leather.

02:07So we're getting ready for the show tonight.

02:10So we have our in-ears here, we have our packs.

02:12They're all labeled.

02:13But this is where we do a lot of work.

02:15This is where we eat our meals.

02:16This is where we play video games and watch TV.

02:20There's one rule on the bus, the only game that we play.

02:23The only game that we play on the bus,

02:25it's not hopscotch, it's not ping pong,

02:28although we do love ping pong.

02:30It's NHL 2024.

02:33And I will say that we do have a tracker here,

02:36and I'm a little embarrassed to be calling this out now,

02:39but Travis and Nick, Travis is at 11 games won,

02:43I'm at seven.

02:45Seven or 11 in craps is actually not a good thing.

02:49It's not a great thing, no.

02:50But there is a tally going until the end of the tour.

02:53So we will have some wagers,

02:56but we do spend a lot of our time playing NHL,

02:58and that is literally the only game

03:00that's allowed on this bus.

03:01But we got a cool sound system.

03:03What's your team?

03:04You gotta talk about your team.

03:05My team.

03:06Who do you play with?

03:06Right now I'm playing with the Dallas Stars.

03:08He's a Dallas Stars guy.

03:09He's figured out that the goalie's the best in the game.

03:11No, it's strictly because of the jerseys.

03:14The Dallas Stars have the coolest jerseys in NHL 24.

03:18I'm so often between the Anaheim Ducks right now

03:20and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

03:22So, you know, I'm picking Toronto

03:24because we got to play Scotiabank Arena

03:25for the first time on this tour,

03:27and we get to see it pop up on the game every day,

03:28and it's just cool.

03:29Yeah, the first show of the tour was at Scotiabank,

03:31so when we loaded up, we're back at where it all started.

03:35You know, it's pretty surreal.

03:36We have some vinyl here.

03:39We keep some vinyl on the bus

03:40in case we wanna listen to some classic records,

03:42like our debut album.

03:44That's right.

03:45We actually just got it pressed for the third time ever

03:49on this tour with a brand new colorway,

03:51and pull this out.

03:56Wow, I haven't even seen it in person.

03:59Look at that.

04:00Look at how cool this is.

04:03Very cool.

04:03Very limited, and then we do have our first pressing ever

04:08of our second album, Emotion Sickness,

04:11that actually has a song that no one has heard online.

04:15So if you go on our Spotify or Apple Music,

04:19this song is nowhere to be found.

04:20You have to buy the vinyl to hear the hidden track.

04:24Yes, you do.

04:25So you gotta keep it on the bus.

04:27So we got the shoes off.

04:28We've walked you through the video game.

04:30We've seen the tally.

04:32Should we check out the fridge?

04:33You wanna see the fridge?

04:35Okay, here we go.

04:36It's exciting.

04:38We got five dollar.

04:39Five dollar make you holler.

04:42And there we are.

04:43It's a complete mess.

04:44It's a complete disaster.

04:46But when you have seven or eight dudes living on a bus,

04:50it's really tough to keep it organized.

04:52This is the first orange juice that ever made it on the bus

04:55and I labeled it Nick,

04:56and it's probably about 35 days old.

04:58So if you'd like some, let me know.

05:00You probably don't want any of that.

05:02I have the meal prepping on this tour.

05:05So I have some meals here.

05:07So if I don't like what's at catering

05:09or I don't wanna eat unhealthy,

05:10pop one of these in the microwave and I have my lunch.

05:15Hummus, sorry.

05:17Hummus, I think every band around the world

05:21is single handedly keeping the hummus industry alive.

05:24Yes, that is true.

05:25Because that's what's on every band's rider.

05:27It's like tortilla chips, guacamole, and hummus.

05:30So all you hummus heads, you can thank us.

05:34You can't forget the Pacifico, you know?

05:36This is me right here.

05:38A little Pacifico before the show can never go wrong.

05:42What else do we have?

05:43Okay, so I bought these when we were somewhere,

05:46probably a Walmart, as like an emergency ration

05:49in case I ran out of meal prep.

05:50I had something to eat.

05:52We've got an egg and sausage burrito.

05:54That's somebody's.

05:55But this is the real pride and joy of the freezer for me.

05:59We got fruit.

06:00So frozen fruit because I bought a little blender

06:07when we were in Canada.

06:08It was like $18.

06:09I did not think it was gonna work as good as it did.

06:12And I didn't think it was gonna last as long as it has

06:14because I use that thing like two to three times a day.

06:17I'm drinking protein shakes and smoothies.

06:19And that's honestly been getting me through the tour.

06:22Here's a good little trick for you.

06:24We, every day on a rider, have some honey.

06:27And I think that I take, by taking a scoop of this a day,

06:32like this, just a tiny scoop,

06:37it's really helped with not getting sick.

06:39So scoop of honey a day.

06:41You might wanna try it.

06:43And then Nick has his tequila, his Jack Daniels.

06:46That's what he takes with his vitamins every day.

06:49Correct, and my cereal.

06:50Yeah, these are the front lounge bottles.

06:52He also has bunk bottles, depending on, you know,

06:56where he will be enjoying his spirits of choice.

07:00And in case we run out, we do have rations.

07:04So next to the jam and the minute rice.

07:08And the jelly and the peanut butter.

07:10We have more Jack Daniels.

07:12But look, I mean, this is, it feels like you're at home.

07:14This is a sink, if no one's ever seen a sink before.

07:18That's how it works.

07:18You turn it on, water comes out of it.

07:20Wash your hands.

07:21Wash your hands.

07:22But something nice that we did do with this bus

07:26is we did invest in soap.

07:28So we have some Aesop soap.

07:30This is pricey stuff,

07:32but if you want your hands to smell good,

07:34you wanna feel clean, you gotta go with the best.

07:38And I feel like we're on one of the best buses

07:39that we've ever been on.

07:40So we had to have the best soap.

07:43We have a little toaster here for English muffins.

07:45Oh, really cool.

07:46I think another cool thing about this bus

07:48that we've only had it here, but never in the States,

07:50is our trash.

07:52So.

07:52Oh, this is cool.

07:54Yeah.

07:55This is like.

07:56We put our tour manager down there twice already.

07:58Yeah, so let's say you're washing your hands.

08:00You don't need to look for a can.

08:01You just.

08:02You dump it in.

08:05And it's done.

08:05Yeah.

08:06You know, in terms of storage,

08:08because you might be asking yourself,

08:09you have the frozen meals,

08:11you have the jelly,

08:12you have the Jack Daniels,

08:14where do the groceries go?

08:17Pretty cool.

08:18Little slide outs.

08:20Not bad.

08:21Speaking of not getting sick,

08:23I'm like a super OCD and definitely an over-preparer.

08:27And so I packed,

08:30this is like my daily routine,

08:32that I have my multivitamins.

08:35So I take about 10 or 12 of these a day.

08:37Hasn't taken them once on tour.

08:41Have some elderberry syrup.

08:43That's really good.

08:44Hasn't taken those once on tour.

08:45Next.

08:46And then I have some electrolyte packets

08:48for when I feel like.

08:49And those neither, yeah.

08:50I haven't seen them open before.

08:51I haven't drank enough water.

08:53So been indulging in those as of recently.

08:55And I gotta say,

08:57I've been doing great.

08:59I've been feeling amazing.

09:02Okay.

09:04You wanna show them the coolest part?

09:05I think it's the doors.

09:07What, these doors?

09:09Yeah, the bathroom.

09:11Dude, is it really locked?

09:13Who's in here?

09:15Hello?

09:16Hello?

09:17So sometimes this thing locks.

09:19You gotta be fucking kidding me right now.

09:21Actually, I don't wanna break it.

09:22Yeah, don't break the door.

09:23Someone's already,

09:24someone's come close to actually breaking it.

09:26So this is the part of the bus tour

09:28where we have to call our tour manager

09:30and we have to break into our own bathroom.

09:33Let me call Davis.

09:33This has happened a couple of times

09:36at like three or four in the morning.

09:37So we have to go into his bunk.

09:40We have to wake him up.

09:41Is he here?

09:42Yeah, he's right up.

09:43I think he should be.

09:44He should be right up.

09:44Let me call him right now.

09:45Let's see what's going on.

09:48How does he get this thing open?

09:50Hello?

09:50Hey Davis, the bathroom door is locked again, dude.

09:53Can you come up here?

09:57Unless Elio's in here.

09:58I don't know what's going on.

10:00All right, I need a knife.

10:01And then I need a plastic knife.

10:03This is our amazing tour manager, Davis,

10:06who helps us out with everything on the road,

10:09including when we get locked out of the bathroom.

10:12He's also very good at hijacking cars,

10:15breaking into homes,

10:17and all the things you can think.

10:19Oh my gosh!

10:22Wow!

10:24Thank you, Davis.

10:25This is a toilet and that's a plant.

10:28And I could actually use this right now.

10:29Okay, we'll see you in about 20, 30 minutes.

10:33Hope he doesn't get locked in there, but.

10:36Hey!

10:37What, I'm using the toilet.

10:38You can't, you can't,

10:39you can't take a poop on the tour bus.

10:41Dude, I'm, really?

10:43No, you can't, you're not allowed to do that.

10:45Are you sure?

10:46I'm pretty sure.

10:47It's too late, buddy.

10:49I think he might've pooped on the tour bus.

10:53No, it's just pee.

10:55It's just pee.

10:57But we got it open, so that's, that's a positive.

11:04How was it?

11:05It was great.

11:06Okay.

11:06See the auto-flash?

11:07Yeah.

11:08It just sucks it right out.

11:09We have a bidet in there.

11:10Yeah, nice.

11:11The seat heats up.

11:12It is really nice.

11:13All right.

11:14Coolest part about the bus,

11:16I think would be the fact that

11:18it's kind of all touch screen, so.

11:21We call it the Darth Vader screen.

11:24It's our Star Wars automatic slider.

11:28Come on down.

11:29Follow us to Bunk Alley.

11:35Well, I'm sure on the couple episodes

11:38you guys have done on Bus Invaders,

11:39you've never seen bunks on a bus before,

11:42but here they are.

11:43They're pretty incredible.

11:44I like the tan coloring on these things.

11:47Have you ever been in a Sprinter van with a bunk before?

11:51No.

11:51Because I think the last episode I did with Bus Invaders,

11:53I was in a Sprinter van with an actual bunk.

11:55So these are a little bit better than that, I would say.

11:57These are better.

11:58We went with the condo bunks in the back.

11:59So Nick, Nick and I, our tour manager,

12:02Mike, who plays guitar,

12:03we have condos just because we're relatively tall.

12:07We need a little space.

12:09And then we have regular bunks in the front here.

12:14But the funny thing about us is that

12:16we actually tour with only about

12:18seven or eight people at a time.

12:19Because there's only two people in the band,

12:21so it makes it a lot easier.

12:22So we have like two to three junk bunks at any given time.

12:27And if you don't know what a junk bunk is,

12:28but if you're watching this, I'm sure you do,

12:30it's just where everyone's shit goes.

12:32So our junk bunks are just constantly full of stuff.

12:37But Nick, why don't you show them

12:39probably the coolest thing that's in the junk bunk?

12:41Should I?

12:42Yeah.

12:43Okay, hold on, hold on, let's get this out of here.

12:46Careful now.

12:47Careful now.

12:49All right, so Travis and I sometimes go out

12:52to vintage stores and go out into town

12:56when we're on tour and we pick up items.

12:58This one happened to be one of the larger items

13:01we picked up, but it is a painting.

13:03And it's actually a, it's pretty rad.

13:07We found this, what city were we in?

13:09North Carolina.

13:10North Carolina, this dude was on the street.

13:12We went to go get lunch and he had this out there

13:15and we were like, we'll take it.

13:17He's a print.

13:18Yeah, we don't know how we're gonna get it home,

13:20but it was already framed and now it lives

13:23in the junk bunk until tour's over.

13:25Until tour's over, but it'll probably be a great piece

13:28for the studio when we get back.

13:30It'll be a good memory from tour.

13:32Speaking of things that we pick up

13:34when we're out and about too as well,

13:36we got some cool paintings, but I think I found

13:41my number one jacket in my entire life.

13:46And this will be something that I have forever.

13:50And this also lives in the junk bunk

13:51because I wear it on stage with Avril Lavigne

13:53in Simple Plan every night.

13:55But what more could you want from a piece of clothing?

14:02You know, we got the Vandals.

14:04I got a minor threat hit over here.

14:07We got some Motorhead artwork.

14:09We got some DRI, huge Anarchy A.

14:16Real leopard, they skinned a leopard for this.

14:20But yeah, I fell in love with it.

14:22Like I have to have it and now it's mine.

14:26Luke, I am your father.

14:35You have to talk to it sometimes, it can stop.

14:38Now our back lounge has become.

14:40Holy, dude, I thought these went away.

14:42Our back lounge has become a little famous on this tour.

14:47So much so that our bus even has its own merch.

14:50Now, if you see the exterior of the bus,

14:52it's red, it's big.

14:54We named it Clifford on day one.

14:58But back here is where the real magic happens.

15:01So I don't know where these came from,

15:05but we have our own bus merch now

15:09and you are officially entering Clifford's back lounge.

15:14Why does it say liquor in the front, poker in the rear?

15:19I don't know.

15:19We've never played poker back here.

15:21We've never once played poker.

15:23But the shirts are absolutely incredible.

15:26Priceless, priceless.

15:28Yeah, if you buy a ticket for Clifford's back lounge.

15:32That's what you get, liquor in the front,

15:33poker in the rear.

15:34This is what you get.

15:35You get a t-shirt to commemorate your experience forever.

15:38But to be honest, the back lounge,

15:39we just use it for more storage.

15:43We have our shower stuff back here.

15:45We have some clothes.

15:46We'll sit on the couch.

15:48We'll talk, we'll be friends.

15:49We'll roll the windows down.

15:51We'll reminisce on the shows.

15:54And that's about all that happens back here.

15:57There's a pole that comes up from the ground.

16:00If you click your feet three times on the ground.

16:01You go like this.

16:02Yep.

16:03Don't, don't, don't.

16:04No, no, no, sorry.

16:05That's another episode.

16:06Sorry, sorry, sorry.

16:07Oh, wait a second.

16:08He thinks that's all that's back here.

16:10Let me show you something that this guy

16:12probably doesn't want to talk about.

16:14Being the lead singer that he is.

16:16We call it LSS.

16:18It's a lead singer syndrome.

16:19Whenever there's a closet involved,

16:21you know who has to have it, all right?

16:23And let me show you this secret cabinet

16:26full of Travis's hoodies that I've never seen him wear

16:30once on this tour.

16:33Dress up items, hats, clothes.

16:35And you want to know what my item is over here?

16:37Right here.

16:38Oh, wait.

16:40There it is.

16:43Here's my one item I got in the closet this year.

16:46My big noise hoodie.

16:47So.

16:50Yeah.

16:50I'll leave it at that.

16:51Yeah, that is, uh.

16:53Thanks, Travis.

16:54That's unfortunate for me.

16:55But that, that is what goes in the closet.

16:59Yeah.

17:00But I mean, to be honest,

17:01we don't really spend that much time back here.

17:04Most of our time is spent either in the bunks,

17:07in the front lounge, Nick in the bathroom,

17:10or we're on stage playing, playing a show.

17:13Yeah.

17:14And I mean, top to bottom.

17:16This is it.

17:17This is Clifford.

17:18You were in Clifford's Back Lounge.

17:19You're in Girlfriend's Clifford's Back Lounge.
